Michael,

I really appreciate the update.

You are right ... I had the model numbers mixed up a bit.

Also it appears Michelin updated the specs from 1994.

Attached are the specs files frm 2004 and new ones frm 2005

But the changes are very minimal.

Thanks for pointing this out .... I've updated the info.

The basic specs didn�t change so the inflation recommendations for Jon
remain the same. 

"where you're getting the load table data"

BTW ... My long range goal is to post Load Inflation Tables for every
popular Vanagon tire.

This is great info to help us dial in correct Inflation Pressures.

I have five main sources for this and other technical data.

1) Tire & Rim Associations "Year Book Guide" which covers USA tire sizes

2) ETRTO: "Standards Manual" which covers Eurpoean tire sizes

3) I've been able to connect with a Tire Design Egr from Kumho (thks to a
fellow Vanagon owner)

4) Lastly Tire Manufactures Tech Support.
 - I've had good luck getting "email" responses frm Michelin.

5) TireRack.Com Tech Support

"Do you have load tables for the Agilis 81?" 

The Inflation Table info I posted on the Agilis Load Index "D" / Max Load
1875 Tire is accurate.

The error was the model number not the spec data. 

Model: Agilis 81
Size: 185R14
Load Range: 102
Load Index: D
Max Load: 1874 lbs
Max Inflation Pressure: �65 psi

The load inflation Table info:

35 psi    40psi    45psi     50psi     55psi     60psi     65psi
1142lbs   1271lbs  1396lbs   1519lbs   1708lbs   1790lbs   1874psi

So following I'd inflate the Agilis 81 tire to:
 
Front - 45psi
Rear - 55psi

Then adjust slightly up or down.

 
good road, good adventure

Again, Larry, your data for these tires is incorrect.  The correct 
numbers are:

Do you have load tables for the Agilis 81?
